As Theresa and I stood on the expansive patio of Loews Coronado Bay Resort on Saturday afternoon, I found myself looking across the bay at the changing hues of our San Diego skyline as the warm yellow sun seemed to melt into the Pacific Ocean.
I took a moment to privately acknowledge our good fortune and ask myself how I ended up here. I felt lucky to witness the magical moment when Lindsey Ludwig turned towards her family and friends, sharing her trademark gentle smile as she held up a bouquet of bright flowers into the rapidly changing colors of our October sky.

I never imagined seven years ago when I placed my Lieutenants badge on SDPD Chief Lansdowne's desk, I would have the opportunity to experience such a variety of events. By changing careers and choosing a different path, I discovered an entirely new set of doors. Each of them unique with their own challenges and surprises.
Like James P. "Sulley" Sullivan and his one-eyed partner Mike Wazowski of Monsters Inc. a few of the doors I opened had big surprises. Some of them I wish I never opened, while others, like the one we opened today, reinforced I made the right decision.

As the owner of a company you develop a close bond with your employees and you feel fortunate to share glimpses of their lives, regardless if it is a challenge they currently face or a day of celebration.

I recognized the value of my job change as Theresa and I stood in the main ballroom as Lindsey and Blake Fech were announced. I wished them good fortune as they prepared to step through one of their first doors together as husband and wife. Congratulations!
Have a great week
